“’Erin go braugh’ is an incorrect spelling and is essentially meaningless”

but that

“’Éirinn go Brágh’ is now commonly used as a patriotic cry meaning ‘Ireland forever’”.

Minor misspellings aside, it’s all about the accents I guess. Well excuse me, Mr. Irish authenticity, over here in America we don’t use no fancy accents, which we consider an “old Europe” affectation.

Anybody who wants to get all separatist and point out that “Sundman” is Swedish, not Finnish, should chill out–although I’ll be glad to join you in Gamla Stan where we can discuss the history of Swede-Finns over a stor stark (if you’ll pay my airfare and hotel tab, that is). Finally as to that Scottish part of my lineage, or ancestry or whatever you call it, well, that has precious little to do with today so we’ll leave it be for now.

As a Peace Corps Volunteer living the village of Fanaye Dieri in drought-hit Senegal 1974-76, I used to hitch hike to Podor every few weeks to pick up my mail. There I stayed overnight w another PCV, among whose books I first discovered Cavafy & Checkov. https://t.co/YHY0ZLZ9p7

What cowardly shit is this? Is that mask intended to intimidate? I would certainly seem so. Who is too chickenshit to be seen holding an American flag? Christ, I'm known many third graders with more guts than that. What a fucking ugly photo. Not sure how it ended up in my feed.

Pelosi is not perfect. But she is strong & smart & fearless; & (UNLIKE SCHUMER) she will not be mindfucked by Republicans. She is a master of congressional chess & she is successful. I do wish she would ditch @WhipHoyer, who I can't stand. But please count me 100% Team Pelosi.
